Society for Engineering Education, 2024Relation between Out-of-Classroom Engagement Activities and Student PerformanceSarath Chandra K Jagupilla, Elizabeth O’Connell, Muhammad R HajjAbstractIn this study, the relation between out of classroom engagement activities and studentperformances, measured through GPAs, for engineering undergraduate students in civil,environmental and naval engineering majors is assessed. Five different categories of events wereidentified– career development, community building, physical activity, academic support, andfield trips. Attendance at each event was tracked and academic performance after the semesterwith activities was analyzed. In AY 2023–2024, the department hosted twenty-oneundergraduate out-of-classroom

Paper ID #45304Syllabus Review Assessment: Technical Contract ReviewDr. Tracey Carbonetto, Pennsylvania State University, Allentown Professional skills continue to be found lacking in early career engineers despite efforts to improve suggested and implemented by faculty, administration, and ABET. Utilizing the early career engineering population as a source of information and specifically, feedback on the ability to meet the professional skills expectations, engineering faculty can include suggested recommendations for improve professional skills development within the undergraduate engineering curriculum

crucial for success in entry-level roles. Based on this, the pedagogy wasrevised to simulate an industrial job environment and incorporate problem-based and project-based learning [5]. This approach aims to train students in both technical skills and soft skills,which are equally important for career advancement. Some of these changes have beenimplemented for the current cohort, and some are still in the process of being implemented forfuture students.In this paper, the author aims to convey students' opinions and perspectives regarding theapprenticeship program, which is a key factor in a successful program. Most apprentices areyoung adults, and for many, this is their first professional job, and so they require significantsupport to succeed in

Mathematicians and Scientists Teaching Engineering Courses: Practices, Advantages, and ConcernsAbstract:Engineering is highly intertwined with science and mathematics. The connection between thethree fields of engineering; and mathematics and science is illustrated based on the commonlyknown and ABET definitions of mathematics and science with those of engineering. Anevidence of this connectivity lies in STEM which is a recent field that has been highly visible inthe last twenty years. It stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Studentshave been noticeably swayed away from these crossing disciplines for various reasons. STEMwas partially created to attract students back to these careers again.Discussions are
